2007-10-03[POWERPC] Add CHECK_FULL_REGS in several places in ptrace codeRoland McGrath
This restores the CHECK_FULL_REGS sanity check to every place that can access the nonvolatile GPRs for ptrace. This is already done for native-bitwidth PTRACE_PEEKUSR, but was omitted for many other cases (32-bit ptrace, PTRACE_GETREGS, etc.); I think there may have been more uniform checks before that were lost in the recent cleanup of GETREGS et al.

2007-06-14[POWERPC] ptrace shouldn't touch FP exec modeBenjamin Herrenschmidt
One of the gratuitous difference between 32 and 64-bit ptrace is whether you can whack the MSR:FE0 and FE1 bits from ptrace. This patch forbids it unconditionally. In addition, the 64-bit kernels used to return the exception mode in the MSR on reads, but 32-bit kernels didn't. This patch makes it return those bits on both. Finally, since ptrace-ppc32.h and ptrace-ppc64.h are mostly empty now, and since the previous patch made ptrace32.c no longer need the MSR_DEBUGCHANGE definition, we just remove those 2 files and move back the remaining bits to ptrace.c (they were short lived heh ?).

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Allow ptrace write to pt_regs trap and orig_r3Benjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch allows a ptracer to write to the "trap" and "orig_r3" words of the pt_regs. This, along with a subsequent patch to the signal restart code, should enable gdb to properly handle syscall restarting after executing a separate function (at least when there's no restart block). This patch also removes ptrace32.c code toying directly with the registers and makes it use the ptrace_get/put_reg() accessors for everything so that the logic for checking what is permitted is in only one place.

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Uninline common ptrace bitsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This folds back the ptrace-common.h bits back into ptrace.c and removes that file. The FSL SPE bits from ptrace-ppc32.h are folded back in as well. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-06-14[POWERPC] ptrace updates & new, better requestsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The powerpc ptrace interface is dodgy at best. We have defined our "own" versions of GETREGS/SETREGS/GETFPREGS/SETFPREGS that strangely take arguments in reverse order from other archs (in addition to having different request numbers) and have subtle issue, like not accessing all of the registers in their respective categories. This patch moves the implementation of those to a separate function in order to facilitate their deprecation in the future, and provides new ptrace requests that mirror the x86 and sparc ones and use the same numbers: PTRACE_GETREGS : returns an entire pt_regs (the whole thing, not only the 32 GPRs, though that doesn't include the FPRs etc... There's a compat version for 32 bits that returns a 32 bits compatible pt_regs (44 uints) PTRACE_SETREGS : sets an entire pt_regs (the whole thing, not only the 32 GPRs, though that doesn't include the FPRs etc... Some registers cannot be written to and will just be dropped, this is the same as with POKEUSR, that is anything above MQ on 32 bits and CCR on 64 bits. There is a compat version as well. PTRACE_GETFPREGS : returns all the FP registers -including- the FPSCR that is 33 doubles (regardless of 32/64 bits) PTRACE_SETFPREGS : sets all the FP registers -including- the FPSCR that is 33 doubles (regardless of 32/64 bits) And two that only exist on 64 bits kernels: PTRACE_GETREGS64 : Same as PTRACE_GETREGS, except there is no compat function, a 32 bits process will obtain the full 64 bits registers PTRACE_SETREGS64 : Same as PTRACE_SETREGS, except there is no compat function, a 32 bits process will set the full 64 bits registers The two later ones makes things easier to have a 32 bits debugger on a 64 bits program (or on a 32 bits program that uses the full 64 bits of the GPRs, which is possible though has issues that will be fixed in a later patch). Finally, while at it, the patch removes a whole bunch of code duplication between ptrace32.c and ptrace.c, in large part by having the former call into the later for all requests that don't need any special "compat" treatment.

2007-06-14[POWERPC] ptrace cleanupsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The powerpc ptrace code has some weirdness, like a ptrace-common.h file that is actually ppc64 only and some of the 32 bits code ifdef'ed inside ptrace.c. There are also separate implementations for things like get/set_vrregs for 32 and 64 bits which is totally unnecessary. This patch cleans that up a bit by having a ptrace-common.h which contains really common code (and makes a lot more code common), and ptrace-ppc32.h and ptrace-ppc64.h files that contain the few remaining different bits.

2006-01-08[PATCH] use ptrace_get_task_struct in various placesChristoph Hellwig
The ptrace_get_task_struct() helper that I added as part of the ptrace consolidation is useful in variety of places that currently opencode it. Switch them to the common helpers. Add a ptrace_traceme() helper that needs to be explicitly called, and simplify the ptrace_get_task_struct() interface. We don't need the request argument now, and we return the task_struct directly, using ERR_PTR() for error returns. It's a bit more code in the callers, but we have two sane routines that do one thing well now.
